OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google offer 50% discounts via Batch APIs

Major AI vendors, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, offer a 50% discount on Large Language Model (LLM) usage through Batch APIs. This pricing model is designed for non-urgent, asynchronous tasks where users can trade immediate response times for significant cost savings.

Under these programs, users upload multiple requests at once and receive the results later, typically within 24 hours. OpenAI’s Batch API supports up to 50,000 requests or 200 MB per batch. Anthropic offers a 50% discount on all usage with batches often completing within one hour, while Google Gemini provides a 50% cost reduction with a target turnaround of 24 hours.
